The world was once a flourishing land, peaceful and full of abundance. However, long ago what is now known as the 'Ancient Purge' occured. The events that transpired ruined the land, destroying it almost all but completely. Few continents remained, and years passed. Now, three continents are about the world. The Fallen Lands to the South, the continent known as Alofirma. The Pride Lands to the West, home to the Ronin, the continent known as Silveria. These are the two smaller continents compared to the final continent that rest between them, being both of their sizes put together: The War Lands. The continent known as Teiliusa.
Each Continent has had it's own troubles, each divided by the vast oceans. The Fallen Lands were plagued by various otherworldly beings, their troubles possibly being the worst among them all. The Pride Lands often had those who planned to usurp the rule of the land despite their proud code of honor. While the War Lands had been the most prosperous, they at the same time had their own troubles. Their land divided by various rulers.
The Kingdom of the Claw: Tilberius. The Kingdom of Hades: Zephyrius. The Kingdom of Wisdom: Rosaria. The Kingdom of Daishin: Gilmore. And the Kingdom of the Fang: Fenril. The name of the five human governed and warring nations. Then rested the Kingdoms of the Inhumans, their proper name being Lecross. The Kingdom of Talons: Kilphenis. The Kingdom of Courage: Giallianis. And the Kingdom of Valor: Holdoai. Governed by Birds, Beasts, and Serpents. Each having various subspecies and some even other species entirely. Rarely do their interact with a human, and so far none have conceived a child with one another in many years. Though the names given to those cursed to such a fate are the Ruptures.
These eight kingdoms were what split the lands of Teiliusa apart, and the humans being the ones most commonly at war years prior. A long extended peace of fifty years came finally in the years, but ended soon after the fifty years passed. Having been brought about by the Claw Kingdom. In war might, they were considered the strongest of all the kingdoms. Daishin being the largest of them all. They waged war against the Fang, the war spreading much further and vaster. Now, Fang and Claw continued to battle. Unknowing to what secrets had caused this war to come about.
Commerce among the three Continents and the Kingdoms were common save for the Lecross with the Humans, which was rarely ever done due to bad blood. Now however, what dark shadows loom behind this war?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kingdom Information:
Hades: Homes to thieves and shadowlurkers, they are known as the Assassin's Kingdom. Being hidden in the shadows of history and having killed many of important powers throughout it. They are despised by the Pride Lands as those who spit on the Code of Honor.
Daishin: Homes to Guards and Fighters. They are known as the Combat Kingdom. Being trained to kill from early ages in either hand to hand killing arts or the way of the axe. Unlike most Kingdoms, if one proves themselves highly in the Arena, they can win themselves into the way of royalty.
Fang: Homes to various forms of fighting. They are known as the Blood Kingdom. Indulging in the ways of combat no matter what form it has and using it to their own advantage. They use tactics and cutting edge equipment to overcome their enemies. Those within the royal family are known to house legendary combat abilities from birth.
Claw: Home to the Nature Magics and Fliers. They are known as the Kingdom of Vengeance. Throughout history, whenever something was done to this Kingdom by another, a war usually occured to backstab their enemies. Even if it was just a trade of words and an insult. The royal family has always been one to strike at all others. They use the Beast Kingdoms to hone their abilities by hosting the Inhuman Hunt.
Wisdom: Homes to the Magic Arts, ranging only to Nature and Light, but not to Dark. They are a peaceful Kingdom, basically bordering on the Beast Kingdoms, and as such have been able to avoid wars almost constantly. Their magic skills despite this, are known to be deadly throughout the world. Possibly the only kingdom that holds a somewhat rational and reasonable relationship with the Lecross.
Pride: Homes to Swordsman of various kinds except for Mercenaries. They are known as the Followers of Honor, always fighting with dignity and honor held tightly to their chest. Those who defy this code are swiftly struck down. They despise Mercenaries, who sell themselves to the highest bidders. And Hades, who fight from the shadows.
Fallen: Home to various Dark Arts, and the originators of the craft. They are known as the Dead Kingdom. Having been plagued by unknown beings, along with their necromancy borning various forms of beings.
Holdoai: Home to the Serpents. They are known for their destructive force and anger. They however remain neutral, having not been forced into war for hundreds of years now. Even after centuries, they are still prided as the strongest among the Lecross. In their race rests snakes and dragons, feared for their might.
Kilphenis: Home to the Birds. They are known for their swift and powerful strikes, being feared from the skies. They come down, performing air raids as their primary form of combat, often known as the Sky Pirates to those at sea. They consist of various different birds, but the main ones are the owls, hawks and ravens.
Giallianis: Home to the Beasts. They are known for various things due to their various differences in their subspecies. Consisting of cats, tigers, lions, wolves, and others. The main army consists of the more numerous and more trained sets among them. The cats known for their agility and lethal strikes, the tigers known for their force of strikes and iron hard bodies. The wolves are separate from the rest of their brethren, having separated after a disagreement. The cats and tigers rest under the leadership of the lion, the wolves under the leadership of their own kind. A small section rests outside of the two larger sections, containing the rarest of the beast tribes. None of the tribes, not even the dragons tread here. Whatever lurks there, even those who have managed to survive since ancient times avoid it.
